| - Like Chili's and TGIFriday's, O'Charley's is a casual sitdown restaurant chain. Unlike Chili's and TGIFriday's, O'Charley's menu options leave a little something to be desired. Granted, we didn't have one of their dinner entrees; we went for lunch and ordered from their "lunch combo" menu which consists of soups, salads, and sandwiches. I ordered the Caesar salad and "overloaded" potato soup. I'm not sure what the soup was overloaded with. Calories, maybe? Preservatives? It certainly wasn't jam-packed with ingredients. There were some slices of potato and some pieces of chopped bacon, but they looked sparse sitting in the thin, somewhat-cheesy, creamed soup base. It looked and tasted like it was fresh...out of a can. If that's your "signature" soup, wouldn't you want people to rave about it? The Caesar salad was pretty average, too. It's hard to make a Caesar salad bad, though. But you can "wow" it by having thick creamy full-of-flavor dressing instead of the runny, bland stuff. So, basically, everything was just very average. The service was great, though. Our server was very friendly and attentive. But that's not enough to bring me back for lunch.
